What is Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Breast augmentation is a type of plastic surgery and an outpatient procedure that is designed to increase the size and shape of the breasts using silicone gel breast implants or saline implants (filled with sterile salt water). Whether you’re looking to increase your breast size or address asymmetry, the breast augmentation procedure and expertise of plastic surgeon Dr. Tragaskiss can address all your concerns, improve your body image, and boost your self-confidence.
Common reasons patients choose breast augmentation include:
- Volume loss after weight loss or pregnancy
- Breast asymmetry
- A desire for fuller, more shapely breasts
Breast implant surgery can also be combined with a breast lift and other surgical procedures for a full rejuvenation.
Are You a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Most patients looking to increase their breast size are good candidates for breast augmentation surgery. That said, there are some criteria we follow to better determine who is an ideal candidate for this life-changing procedure.
- In good overall health
- Have realistic expectations
- Able to take 1-2 weeks off work
- Be a nonsmoker
- Willing to stick to recovery guidelines
- You’re dissatisfied with your breast size, shape, or symmetry
What to Expect: The Breast Augmentation Procedure
Your breast augmentation surgery in Vancouver will begin with general anesthesia to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience. Dr. Tregaskiss will make an incision along the breast crease and create a pocket either behind or in front of the chest muscle, depending on your goals and anatomy.
The selected implants (either silicone gel or saline implants) are then placed within this pocket. Once the implants are positioned, the incisions are carefully closed. The procedure typically takes about one hour.
Recovery After Breast Augmentation
Most patients experience some tightness and swelling following surgery, but discomfort is minimal. You’ll be provided with a surgical bra to support healing and reduce swelling. A friend or family member should accompany you home and help care for you in the first 24–48 hours.
You’ll receive personalized post-operative instructions and a prescription for pain management if needed. We recommend:
– Taking 3–5 days off work to rest and recover
– Sleeping on your back
– Avoiding strenuous activity for 2–3 weeks
– Refraining from heavy lifting for at least six weeks
While initial improvements are visible soon after surgery, your final results will continue to refine over 6–8 weeks as swelling subsides and the implants settle.
